Chapter 899: The Power of Role Models (Second Update)

Saikyo Mansion!

In half of the country, the north-south miscellaneous soup that has disappeared for many years has reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

Ten in a row.

It doesn't matter if you don't make money, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough traffic, and it doesn't matter if you can't afford to spend.

The key is to occupy the territory in advance.

In Yan Yunge's planning, Xijing will definitely become the second most important city in Gyeonggi after the capital.

It will take on important tasks such as the movement of goods and the distribution of population.

The population of Xijing Province will grow exponentially in the next ten years.

It is not easy to live in the capital.

It is better to choose Xijing Mansion, which is more than 100 miles away from the capital district.

At that time, the official road will be widened, and at least six carriages can walk side by side, and a public carriage from the capital to Xijing will be opened every day, guaranteeing a trip every quarter of an hour.

I don't believe that it can't stimulate the flow of people between the two places and strengthen the ties between the two places.

With the opening of the North and South Miscellaneous Soup, the North and South grocery stores naturally took on the important task of living the small people in Xijing Prefecture.

With a variety of goods, low prices, and a people-friendly service attitude, it provides convenience for the lives of the majority of small people.

At the same time, literacy classes were held.

There are morning classes, afternoon classes, and evening classes.

From four to five years old, all ages 60 can sign up for literacy classes, all of which are free of charge.

Chop soup and grocery stores are barely popular, and there is a business as soon as it opens.

The quality of business depends on ability.

As for literacy classes, several literacy classes opened on the same day in and out of the city, but no one signed up.

However, many people passed by the gate of the literacy class compound, stopped to watch, and looked hesitant.

What to do with this bleak scene?

It can only rely on the government's vigorous propaganda.

Lin Xiaobao, as a local snake, should take on this burden.

He chattered with his colleagues, "I've said before that the locals are suspicious and sick. Regardless of whether the government runs an institution for free or for a fee, the locals are suspicious of him and will never take the initiative to step into the door of the literacy class. But I already have a list of literacy classes and I'm sure someone will be in the class tonight. ”

He is familiar with others, and it is easy for him to pull dozens of people to a literacy class.

Fortunately, thanks to him, the head snake, that night, the literacy class did not have a free gear, so he lost face.

It's just that......

This method of pulling people heads is not a long-term solution.

So, the government sacrificed a big killing weapon.

Recruitment of cleaners, male and female, literacy class students are preferred. The daily wage is two to three cents.

The government sent storytellers, and the propaganda of one square city after another......

Not surprisingly, the storytellers doing propaganda were surrounded.

"Sweeping the streets has such a high wage, compared to pulping, washing and sewing, it is not so tiring. Is there really such a good thing? ”

"You go out and inquire, Pingyang County under the rule of Mrs. Yan did this ten years ago. The wages in Pingyang County are higher than ours here, and they also sweep the streets, and people have at least five cents a day. However, everyone must be certified in the literacy class and must know at least 150 words. ”

"Sweeping the streets still has to be literate, foolish."

"That's why you're shallow. Why can't you be literate when sweeping the streets, and do you need to sign when you receive your salary? You don't even know your own name, and you are not afraid of being deceived if you put your fingerprints indiscriminately? ”

"Then you just need to know the name, you don't have to go to a literacy class, you have to know a hundred words."

"If you know your own name, do you want to know the name of your family, or do you want to know your child's name? In the future, the recruitment will be published in the newspaper, how do you know where to recruit if you are literate? ”

"What is a newspaper?"

"A newspaper is a piece of paper on which news is published, and everything can be found on it. Large and small commercial firms recruit workers, and they don't look for brokers in the future, and they all publish in the newspapers. The literate certainly have an advantage over the illiterate. ”

"Isn't this forcing everyone to have nothing to eat?"

"Fart! Literacy classes are free, you just have to go with your head and eyes. You are just lazy, for fear that people will cheat you out of money. Literacy class, the government is giving you money, do you understand? I'll tell you the truth, in the future, even if you are a shopkeeper in the hall, you must be literate, and priority will be given to recruiting young men in the literacy class, at least you must know more than 200 words. ”

"If you say you don't cheat money, you won't cheat money!"

"Mrs. Yan has been in Xijing Mansion for a few months, who has been cheated of money by the government? You tell me, who has been cheated out of money? ”

"No one has ever been cheated out of money. But all the government in the world is the same, so I don't believe that there is such a good thing in the world. ”

"Mr. Li, don't talk nonsense with them, they won't go if they don't see the benefits. I'm going to literacy class with you, and my three children. Is it true that sweeping the streets has three pennies a day? ”

"As long as you go to a literacy class and know how to read, you can sweep the streets and get three pennies a day. If you can't read, you can make more than two pennies a day, or even only one penny. Sister-in-law of the Xu family, are you sure you want to go? ”

"I'll go! Not only me, but my man, my children, our whole family. I used to hear people say that the old man of Dali Temple, surnamed Yang, came out of the literacy class and took the imperial examination, and later betrayed Mrs. Yan......"

"Yes, yes, I've heard of it. What's the name of Yang......"

"Yang Mu, Lord Yang of Dali Temple. Born in a ravine, he went to a literacy class to take the imperial examination and became an official. As a result, I didn't know why I couldn't think of it, so I betrayed Mrs. Yan and ran to Beiliang to be an official. ”

"What happened to this Lord Yang? Why haven't you heard the news? ”

"Don't you know that people are dead?"

"Dead? When did it happen, how did I never hear about it? ”

"I've been dead for a year or two. If he hadn't betrayed Mrs. Yan, he might be the parent official of Xijing Mansion now. ”

"It's a pity!"

"The Lord Yang you are talking about is really from the literacy class? Can you still take the imperial examination in the literacy class? ”

"Lie to you what to do. In Pingyang County, many students come out through literacy classes, and those who excel in the examination can enter Songshan Academy to study, and then participate in the imperial examination. Moreover, it doesn't cost a penny, from food, clothing, and housing, the academy is all covered. ”

"It's impossible to have such a good thing."

"It's impossible. The last time the night market caught fire, the government said that it would compensate, and later it was all cashed in. ”

"I know this, those whose houses are burned down can get a new house without spending a penny, and they are so lucky that they are dying."

"I've told you that the government can't cheat you out of your money. Your pockets are cleaner than your faces, and Mrs. Yan is as rich as the country, can you scarce the few copper plates you have on hand? ”

"Of course, Mrs. Yan doesn't need to be rare with the copper plates we have on hand, half of the people in this city are counting on Mrs. Yan to eat."

"Now believe me, whoever signs up for the literacy class, comes, comes, comes to me and registers. Sister-in-law of the Xu family, you are the first to register......"

A similar situation is happening in different markets.

There are also people who run home for the sake of literacy classes.

Wu Shouye, as the site clerk, deliberately took two days off and ran home, just to sign up for the child's literacy class.

He was worried that his mother-in-law at home had delayed her business, so he had to do it himself to rest assured.

He is literate, but because he is busy making a living, he only enlightens a few children and barely knows some words.

He has always regretted that he cannot afford to send his children to private schools.

Nowadays, there are free literacy classes, and as long as you perform well and learn quickly, you will have the opportunity to enter the academy and receive scholarships.

This kind of good thing, others are still hesitating, he has no hesitation, even if the sky is thundering, he will send his child to literacy class.

Two boys, three girls, big and small, were all sent.

"Just send the boy there, why send the girl to the literacy class too?"

"You know what. The girl is literate, and in the future, whether it is working or looking for her in-laws, she is better than others. Even sweeping the streets, literacy is more than illiteracy. If you are looking for your in-laws, you can pick and choose, only we dislike others and are not afraid of being disliked. ”

"It's as mysterious as you say."

"The sky has changed, it's not the same as before, so don't look at today's things with the old ideas of the past. Before that, literacy was really useless, like me, I studied hard for many years, and I could only work hard. Now it's different, I can be literate and I can work as a clerk, and I can do much easier work than coolies with a salary several times higher than that of coolies. ”

"So, do you really want to send the girl to a literacy class? The literacy class traveled for two hours at a time, delaying the way to live. ”

"That's why you have long hair and short knowledge. I now earn enough money to live on my family. It's not bad for the girl's salary. After that, the children will concentrate on their studies and work secondary. ”

"Now that I'm making money, I should save some money. The children are growing up day by day, and there are only two rooms in the house, where can they live. If you can buy a house of your own, it doesn't have to be too big, and the children can have their own bedrooms. I'm also here to save some more money. ”

"Rest assured, I already have an idea about the house thing. In short, all five children plus you, go to literacy classes. ”

"Even me?" His daughter-in-law looked shocked.

"You wash and sew people every day, not to mention tired, and the wages are small. It's really better to sweep the streets and make money easily. When you know a hundred words, you can do a job of three dollars a day, are you willing? ”

When his daughter-in-law heard this, it seemed to make sense.

"So I really go to literacy classes with my kids? Will I be laughed at, I'm so old. ”

"What are you afraid of. Older than you go to literacy classes. The hands are fast and the hands are slow, and the early literacy is easy to read. Anyway, the matter is settled. ”

Wu Shouye arranged the family clearly.

As soon as he took the lead here, the miscellaneous courtyard where he was located, the Fang Market, all followed him to the literacy class.

Because, everyone has seen an example from Wu Shouye, an example of literacy.

If you know how to read, you can do a book office and get a 'high salary'.

Think about it a few months ago, the Wu family was the poorest family in the entire Fang City, so poor that they had to borrow food to eat one meal a day.

Today, although the Wu family is not the richest, it has definitely reached the point where they can eat three meals a day, two meals and one meal, and even save money.

What is it?

This is a real-life example of how there is a way out of living reading!
